Go in, get put on the Nitrous oxide, get one shot to generally anesthetize the area and let the work commence. I would imagine that this sort of thing would be done by very fine needles which wouldn't leave large scabs or injured scalp. Any pain could likely be dealt with by standard means and wouldn't persist for more than a day.

Compare that to the way most bald men feel about being afflicted with the condition (and have been for eons) and it's not a very high price to pay at all.

And some men are much less sexy without it. Some women don't mind a receding hairline too much, for others, it's a deal breaker. There is no doubt in my mind that my life would have been much better if I had not begun going bald at the age of twenty one. I haven't had a good hair day since about 1991. I last got lucky in 1989. It's no coincidence.

Depends on the shape of the skull

I watched that yesterday on ABC Family. Still find it hard to believe Chunk and Sloth made it all the way through all the other booby traps that the Goonies and Fratellis didn't spring. But it's really the only glaring plot hole in an otherwise fantastic movie.

It's a choice thing. I find many women to be sexier with smaller boobs, but you get the choice of getting implants. Women get the choice of being able to lose weight, or wear makeup, or perfume, or sexy clothes.

All we get is height (can't choose), money (it's more about luck and personality-type), muscles (which we have to work for on top of our jobs), hair (which some of us lose at 19.)

Says a guy who didn't start balding in high school.

Seriously, being bald isn't the worst thing ever, but it's like a facial tattoo or horrible scaring. It's a disability and it holds you back a bit. Look at all the big time Hollywood actors. Not one bald guy. A couple shave their heads, but they can still grow out their hair.

Bald = old and undesirable.

I mean, everyone's psychology is different and if you hunt long enough you can find someone who finds anything sexy, even morbid obesity, but those people are rare, and usually only mention their weird sense of aesthetic after they're off the market.

So generally fat, flat-chested, short, bald, gray, saggy, and hairy anywhere but up top are all traits that are people will do all sorts of things to try and get rid of. So just as women will get chemical burns bleaching their assholes, men will hook up to a vampire machine to not be bald.

And you can say, "why don't we just learn, as a society, to stop judging people on looks," but that statement is so naive and so long-rebutted that people will laugh at you for saying it.

Curing baldness is great. Now we need a pill a inhibit hair growth all together. Imagine if you could take a no side-effect pill every morning that keeps your hair from growing. No more shaving. No more hair cuts. You want to change your styling? Go off the pill until you hit your desired length. That's a future that I want to live in.

Not to mention no more hair balls to cough up after I snack on the Red Snapper.

Think I'd just go with the Annie Lennox look.But I Do know a woman who gets freaky over bald heads.Real freaky.She tends to scare guys so bad they get "performance issues", which don't bother her in the least, because it's the big bald head she likes anyway.Strange lady, but loads of fun.

All you hair-heads have no idea what you're missing out on. Even if I could grow a full head of hair, I wouldn't. Life is so much easier without hair. Seriously. Imagine taking that whole part of your life and getting rid of it. Haircuts. Washing. Brushing. Styling. Hair products. Current styles. Wind. All gone. Once a week I run clippers over it. Done. More time to fap.

I kept mine short too when I had it.

It's not the problem. The problem is that a full head of hair, short or not, is a sign (rightfully or wrongfully) of youth, vitality, and virility.

And all of the money you save by having no dates, no wife, no children. Where's the downside?

Mine's at a really obnoxious phase where my hairline has receded enough for it to be noticeable but not enough to shave it all off. I'm also skinny and have kind of a pinhead so I don't like the completely shaved down look. I'd give this a whirl but I'm sure it'll be ridiculously expensive. I'm not all THAT vain but my chosen career is in entertainment so having crummy hair is a strike against me... and I already have enough strikes against me.

Balding, deformed and barely able to walk is not exactly what the hip kids of today want to see.

I suppose you're right. I never really thought about it, but I can see how people could feel that way.
